Making ROgues Talk.

A writer in the current Harper'a
Magazine give some instances Of the
remarkable power to makes rogues
talk possessed by Inspector Byrnes
OF the New York police Department.:
Interviews with the Inspector are
had by special request. His private
office is adorned by photographs and
crayon drawings whose subjects arg
associated with police affairs Some
of the men reporting to him are said
to be college bred, and can pass mus:
ter in the best society. All are chosep
in view OF individual aptitude for Ger.
tain kinds of work. The stamp OF Off.
ciallsm is about the last OF which there
is any trace. Keeping. incognito as
much as possible, the chances Of
prompt detection are multiplied.
"Crooks" are now afraid of their
shadows; great robberies have ceased
and minor crime been reduced owe,
eighty per cent. Detectives more o.
less closely initiate the example Of their
cheif,' who says: EVERY evening make
it g. point to meet some Of these men
in their resorts and learn from them
the whereabouts of their friends and
what they are doing. One crook oi
consequence generally knows what
other good men are doing. In this
way keep posted, and know in what
part of the country all the sharp men
are. AS experts are liberated from
the state prison, l follow their tracks
in this way" For the secret police oi
European countries, and for the pri,
vate detectives in this, Inspector
Byrnes entertains undisguised con.
tempt. Crime, in his opinion, isa fine
art, and criminal detection q science.
"Set a thief to catch a thiet," is a
hoary mendacity. "In the long run
the honest officer is a match for the
snartest thief" Detective opinion oi
the morality OF American life, private
or official, is not OF roseate hue. The
bribe-taking aldermen OF 1884 have
not improved it's complexion. o.
Henry w. Jaehne, their former vice
president, but now in Sing Sing
through the inspectors remarkable
power OF making rogues talk, he is
represented in saying: "Jaehne
thought had moro proof against him
in regard to Mrs. Hamilton's stolen
silver than really did have, and |
was careful not to undeceive him. AP
it was, knew that he was rascal,
without having proof OF the fact, until
| had gained his confidence to such an
extent that he admitted his guilt as
to the bribery"
